Nuit Blanche sur Tableau Noir 2007


Nuit Blanche sur Tableau Noir is one of the numerous beautiful montreal summer events/festivals. Starting 10pm tonight, 46 artists and comic book authors will be using Mont-Royal street's asphalt concrete as canvases (there are large white rectangles painted on the middle of the street, each one is used by a team). The theme for their overnight works is "Pas de colporteur ! ". Each story/painting will start with a finger on a door buzzer, a door that opens and then, anything can happen... This event will end on the 10th.

Aside from the paintings, the Mont-Royal avenue (between St-Hubert & De Lorimier) is completely pedestrian-ized for 3 days :), boutiques are selling their stuff on the streets, cafés have tables outside, premiere moisson is BBQing!, there's live music here and there... it's just a great occasion to walk around the charming avenue !!!
